That's the question. Are they sacrificing a car that will be more emotionally satisfying to a smaller audience in order to be more mainstream and get a higher volume?

I think Mazda left Flat Rock so there may simply be more pressure for volume.

In the end is it controversial styling that excites some vs mainstream styling that attracts more?
